2008 Stock Radio

Hello Everyone, I am new and made this account to get help on an issue I have with my radio. Recently it won’t turn on or show any power to the screen. I looked through threads and saw it was a common issue with stock radios this old. Is there anything I should do to check this radio before i go and buy a new one? Also with buying a new one I’m not sure how to find one that fits the shell with the stock truck. Will buying the radio come with a shell to completely replace? I don’t know much about radios, just need some music on my car rides. Thanks!

 

Well, the first thing to check is the fuse.

Plug in your vehicle, pick out a headunit and they will point you at everything you need to fit it and wire it. I am using a dash kit from Scosche for mine

 

If you decide to replace it I'd highly recommend upgrading it. Check out this site for options;
